Long, long ago there was a very foolish thief. Do you know what he did one day? When he wanted to steal(偷) the bell on his neighbour’s door, he walked up to the door, took hold of(抓住) the bell and pulled hard. The bell made a very loud noise. The thief was afraid and went home.
Then he sat down to think, “I must do something about the noise,” he said. He thought and thought. At last he had an idea. “Ah, I’ll put some cotton in my ears. Then I won’t be able to hear the noise.” The next day he went to the door of his neighbour, and took hold of the bell. This time he pulled even harder. The bell rang loudly, but the thief did not hear anything. With another hard pull he got the bell out. Just then the neighbour came running out. “Steal my bell? I’ll teach you a lesson(教训),”the angry man shouted. And he hit the thief on the nose.

解析

试题分析：本文就是我们汉语成语“掩耳盗铃”的故事。
小题1:细节判断题。根据文章中的When he wanted to steal(偷) the bell on his neighbour’s door,可判断选B。
小题2:细节推理题。根据文章中的When he wanted to steal(偷) the bell on his neighbour’s door以及在文章的最后，这位小偷还在疑惑，说明他认为捂住自己的耳朵，别人就听不见铃声了，所以是安全的。故选A。
小题3:推理判断题。邻居听到铃声“不一般”，故认为发生了奇怪的事情。故选C。
小题4:细节理解题。根据邻居说的那句话，邻居打小偷是为了惩罚他。判断选B，。
小题5:综合判断题。根据文章的最后一句话说明A是错误的；掩耳盗铃的小偷不知道邻居为什么会出来判断B是错误的；小偷捂上自己的耳朵就认为别人听不到，才大胆去偷铃，C与文章相符。
